As he draws closer to Lucas, he feels more of that anger from before. There's a sickening lurch to his stomach when he thinks about the bodies left in the wake of the attack, one of them in particular seared into his mind. Aventurine's no stranger to massacres. In fact, he might almost be too familiar with the image of bloodied and strewn corpses laid out, their unseeing eyes staring straight at him.
He didn't think he'd have to see something like that again so soon. He didn't think he'd have to lose another loved one so quickly after having finally made that push to get over more than a decade of refusing to love again.
So the timing is awful, and his steps falter for a split second as he comes shoulder to shoulder with Lucas. But he doesn't pause or stop despite the loud, shrill ringing in his ears and the heated blood storming away at his veins. It's going to take some time for him to calm down, even if he already feels like a piece of shit for treating Lucas like this to begin with. They pass by each other wordlessly, until Aventurine's steps fade down the hallway. ]
